Parking will be at least a half- block from the motorcade route and generally prohibited where ever the king will-be.

Edie Dahlsten, Lindahl and Pearson reflected: "Think creatively and be positive in what you do." That's Mrs. Dahlsten's A credo. "A positive attitude will open more paths.

In general terms, there've been no major kind of cooperation has been am thrilled. I think most of us are; some may say it's too busy and go fishing but so many are anxious." Pearson: "This is an outreach. It's proof the Bicentennial is for everyone, not just in the original colonies or in the cities. I think the national group has done a.tremendous job."

But the dominant ingredient in Becky's mix of feelings is a posi- live one. "In the long run I think everyone is going to be happy."
